Ping
The Pi ng test bounces a packet off a m achine on the Internet back to the sender. This test shows if
SMCBR24Q is able to contact the remote host. If users on the LAN are having problems accessing services
on the Internet, try pinging the DNS server, or other machine at the ISP’s location. If this test is successful,
try pinging devices outside the ISP. This will show if the problem lies with the ISP’s connection.
Enter the IP address of the device being pinged and click the Go button. The test will take a few seconds to
complete. Once completed, a message showing the results will be displayed at the bottom of the Web
browser window.
Note: Ping requires an IP address. SMCBR24Q’s DNS Name Lookup tool may be used to find the IP
address of a host.
Factory Default
The "Factory Default" button can be used to clear all of your con figuration information and restore
SMCBR24Q to its factory state. Only use this feature if you wish to discard all other configuration
preferences.
